Super Sunday – marathon training Sunday 24th March

One of our marathon crew benefitting from the beautiful training routes

It’s the big one for our marathon runners as we take on 21 miles together.

You may not have realised, but you’ve already done the biggest chunk of your training and next week you’ll start to taper. Don’t forget to look back and appreciate everything you’ve achieved already. Well done!

If you’re feeling anxious or nervous, don’t worry – it’s completely normal. If you’ve got any concerns or questions no matter how silly they seem – talk to us, we are here for you. All the coaches have been through marathon training and will understand what you may be feeling.

And remember all our runclub members are behind you. You are not alone!

To make sure you’re in tip top condition for Sunday, drink plenty of water during Saturday and do something fun and relaxing on Saturday night to ensure you minimise any worries and sleep well.

Are you foam rollering reguarly? Honestly?! Remember recovery is key to this phase of training. Look after yourself with regular rollering – including before you run.

We’ll start at the King Alfred Centre, and head along the seafront to Saltdean before heading back across the Downs to Woodingdean and homeward via Ovingdean.

As some of the run is in the Downs, there will be a couple of hills but the majority of the route is flat.
